Description Unknown 2013-08-15 19:44:18 UTC

Viewing a very simple PDF results in an incorrect display on the screen. This PDF has only two lines of text, and both of them should be in the top half of the page. Okular shows one line in the top half of the page, and the other line on the bottom half. Printing the page results in correct output on the paper.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. View the PDF CD_label_CRtheme.pdf. I will attach this file.
Actual Results:  
Notice that the two lines of text are not both in the top half of the page. I will attach a screenshot okular_wrong.png to demonstrate this.

Expected Results:  
Instead I expect that the PDF would be displayed correctly on the screen, as well as on paper. I will attach a screenshot evince_correct.png to demonstrate this.

I am using version 0.14.3 in Debian stable.

Do you have the Trim Margins option enabled?

Comment 5 Unknown 2013-08-15 22:49:21 UTC

I do have Trim Margins enabled, and unchecking it makes the PDF display correctly.

Though it is a mystery to me how that box got checked. I am quite certain I didn't check it myself. Is it perhaps turned on by default? I can see that it is a useful option to have, but it certainly confused me when I didn't know what was going on.

Anyway, thanks a lot for the help, and sorry for the noise.

I just tested with a clean config. Trim Margins is not enabled by default, so at some point you enabled it. I think it makes sense that Okular remembers this option between invokations, because someone might be highly annoyed, if he had to change it every time.
